Hi I’m Carrie your instructor & parenting coach. Would you like help and support with your child’s difficult behaviour? I did! Back in 2013 with a new baby and a toddler on my hip I would often feel overwhelm, anxiety and insecurity about my parenting. I wanted to channel calm, playful mum and instead I found myself being stressed, shouty, and tired. I desperately wanted to be the best mummy I could be for my boys. So I reached out for support from Hand in Hand Parenting, this gave me connection to a group of parents who got me and 5 tools to help almost every parenting situation. Fast forward to today, with two boys 11 and 13 and there is still so much to learn and understand about their ever changing lives’ but this work has given me the help I needed to figure out my own way forward. Every parent deserves this. So it’s become my passion to get it to as many of you as I can. In 2018 I became a certified Hand in hand parenting coach offering in person support groups and 1:1 sessions. Designed for parents of children ten and under.

Carrie was fantastic, and it was a pleasure to attend the course with her. I was sceptical before I took the course, but the tools and the way in which she introduced them has blown my scepticism away’. Rob Dad of 2

‘After the second session, I had a major breakthrough with my son. There were a couple of moments that really hit home for me and made me realise how important it is to parent in a certain way.’ Cathrine mum of 2 boys 

‘I hear a lot of people saying they’ve done this XYZ other courses but when they come to Hand in Hand, they find everything is very clear very simple. I think the one tool that other courses don’t take care of is the listening partnership ……. then it becomes clear and easy to follow these tools.’ Maisa A Hand in Hand parenting student
